Theatre is all about storytelling. Folk music is all about storytelling. And Nell Gwynne – what a story! In Restoration England, she became the most famous woman alive, and this play shows you why. The orange seller who became the leading comedy actress of her day and the mistress of Charles II. Pretty witty Nell, is what Samuel Pepys called her. Discover her story, with songs written by some of the folk world’s finest musicians, including Jo Freya, Robb Johnson, Reg Meuross, Lucy Ward, Boff Whalley and Dave Wilson (Winter Wilson). Some 350 years on, and what’s changed? A plague. A king called Charles. A corrupt government. A dodgy duke of York. Ahem.
